Mid-century modern

Mid-century modern, is a name that gets mentioned often these days. It can be seen everywhere from Art museums to Walmart!. The Mid-60’s look inspires a feeling of nostalgia that can't be replicated by any other furniture piece. With a recent increase in Mid-century furniture in social media outlet(Instagram and TikTock posts), it seems the style has evolved for the current century But with Millenials soon to surpass baby boomers as the largest real estate owners in America, we ask if Mid-century furniture evolved with a generation much different from the past one.

With a new generation taking over the real estate market(millennials), design experts are unsure how there will be a shift in home decor and furnishing. Many millennials feel that Mid-century furniture fills a lot of gaps other home deore choices do not. One is the need for minimalism and ease of travel. Others are the way internet social sites and FOMO have an effect on millennials purchasing choices. Below are just a few of the options Mid Century Furniture gives to the modern Texan.

Tanned leather is a great pet-friendly furniture option—and is especially great for those who love antiques and pieces that tell a story because of the way leather ages.

A leather sofa with pets will definitely experience some wear and tear. But, if you invest in a sofa made of high-quality leather, it will age beautifully and develop a beautiful patina. So, like a beautiful pair of vintage leather boots, the inevitable scratches and scuffs will only add to the beauty and personality of the piece, whether a sofa or accent chair. Bonus: Leather is also super easy to clean and vacuum, making banishing dog hair a breeze.

Born between the late 1980s and 2000, millennials are now relishing their late teens through early 30s. This time of life is made golden with dinner parties and late night drinks with friends.
